The University of Western Ontario Faculty Association (UWOFA) is a union representing about 1,500 faculty members and 50 librarians and archivists at the University of Western Ontario in London.
UWOFA negotiates collective agreements, advises members on employment matters, handles workplace disputes and grievances, and advances the professional interests of faculty members, academic librarians and archivists.
In the broader community, UWOFA representatives meet with provincial and federal politicians to ensure members' voices are heard and reflected in education and labour policy decisions. As well, UWOFA strives to engage members and citizens through awareness campaigns regarding post-secondary education during general membership meetings, community events, contact with journalists, and town hall discussions.

UWOFA's annual meeting of members will be held on Monday, March 25, 2019 from 12 pm - 2 pm in Talbot College, Room 204.

At the meeting, CAUT Service Awards will be presented to Alison Hearn, Kristin Hoffmann, James Compton and John Costella for their continued service to UWOFA. Lunch will be provided.
